Virgin Mobile USA is bucking the trend of wireless carriers eliminating unlimited data plans. The carrier announced that it is simplifying its data plans from the previous four tiers to just two. One of which offers unlimited broadband data for just $40 a month.

The $40 plan is welcome relief for some subscribers who had signed up for the 5GB plan for $60. The only tier carried over from the original plan is the $10 data plan which offers 100MB of data for 10 days. Clearly, Virgin Mobile USA believes that the trend of eliminating unlimited data plans has created an opening to attract subscribers. They may be right.
